I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. May the love of family, friends, and Almighty God bring you comfort and support during your time of grief and afterward. (Ps. 83:18; Isaiah 41:10) May your precious memories of her and the hope of a resurrection bring you peace. (Acts 24:15)

To The Family, You have suffered a great loss and Jehovah feels your pain and for that I am truly sorry . Psalms 145: 18,19 says " Jehovah is near to all those calling on him,... " Verse 19 says " He hears their cry for help and he rescues them." Almighty God will help you through your pain as he has helped me with my losses. Please rely on his tender care.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother. She has been blessed with a long life. Jehovah God never intended for man to die, as a matter of fact he put eternity in their hearts. ( Eccess. 3:11) ). Very soon now he will wipe out pain death and sorrow. ( Rev. 21 : 3, 4 ). May you find peace and the strength to continue on knowing that very soon now you will mourn no more.

I am sorry to learn of the death of your beloved family member. Jehovah God made a promise to us all at Revelation 21:3-4 states, And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.

My Dear Brother Steve and bereaved Family members, think on the good times, the pleasant memories that you shared for almost a century. What a blessing this has been for all of you, knowing that GOD gave you that wonderful gift for so long a time. Remember that she is not lost, you didn't lose her because a long time ago through her faith she found her 2nd birth and therefore she is simply gone for a little while to be seen again at that great camp-meeting in the heavens. Just another reason to get on board for that train is a coming. Peace , love and blessings to you all. Be kind to one another , live in the light.

God has called one of pretty angels home to glory.

I first met Mrs. Ernestine Norwood Johnson when I joined the St. Albans Congregational Church (SACC) in November 1962. Her Husband Rev. Robert Ross was the Pastor. He was a tall, dashing and handsome man. She was a tall, striking beauty with a southern accent she never lost. They were an adorable couple with three lovely children.
My friendship with the Johnsons grew over the years. Pastor Johnson was like a surrogate father to my late wife, Dorothy and Miss Ernestine was her mentor. She sponsored Dorothy becoming a member of Jack and Jill
You may describe Mrs. Johnson as a "Southern Belle" or a "Georgia Peach". Like the actress Lena Horne, she retained her physical beauty all her years.
I saw her as a "Woman of God" having a strong commitment to her faith and a love of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She supported her husband in all his initiatives for the SACC and was a strong fabric of the church. A devoted member, wife and mother.
When the SACC Family Live Center (now name the Robert Ross Johnson Family Center) was completed I had the privilege of working with her as she maintained the books on the use of the Founders Hall.
The St. Albans, New York Community missed the family upon Rev. Johnson's retirement and their relocation to Atlanta. We will miss even more now that she has made her transition to eternal rest.
She leaves us now to be united with the Heavenly Father and reunited with the love of her life, Robert Ross Johnson. We are blessed to have known her.

Although no words of sympathy can ease your loss, may you find some comfort in the thought that others care and will truly miss her.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. While nothing will completely take away your grief by meditating on Gods promises found in the Bible you can find real hope and the strength to keep going. My family and I have found the scripture at Isaiah 25:8 to be especially comforting. Here it promises that God "will swallow up death forever and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces."

I am so very sorry for your loss! Please find comfort from a scripture I'm sure you have read several times before but is personal to you now.
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) Jw.org
